Students think like agricultural engineers as they perform a play about Integrated Pest Management at an apple orchard. [12:15]

Students perform controlled experiments to identify effective materials and methods for picking up and dropping off pollen. [10:41]

Students think like packaging engineers as they examine and identify the functions of a wide variety of packages. [14:22]

Students determine the needs of the plant and the consumer for which they are designing their plant packages. [13:38]

Students apply their knowledge of materials, the pollination system, and agricultural engineering as they imagine, plan, create, test, and improve their own hand pollinators.
